Seems fine EXCEPT, most of the "off topic" that was getting bitched about was directly about AWD.
and the only time this was most prominently seen was in that last week or so... otherwise no one really noticed or cared, and if they did, it was something to laugh over.

Way to go mod alerting lurking noobs, even though you'll probably never read this.

@ Serra, out of curiosity, will mods be monitoring that other thread more now to move OT posts?

if we didn't have so many complaints, we would have left it alone. as you can see, the op created the thread 7 months ago. up until 4-5 days ago, the deals were slow so everyone just "chit chatted" about random stuff. some users have that thread "subscribed" - that means each time there's a post, they hurry up and go look. it's unfair for them to keep wading thru jokes & unrelated side conversations.


hey don't hold it against us. we're just trying to find a compromise & happy medium for all.
In a perfect world this would be accomplished - and I would be 100% behind you (SD).

Problem: The new AWD thread will be just like the old thread - mirror images of each other - therefore there is no reason to create a new AWD thread.

That is my main opposition to the change.

Time will tell.

to tell you the truth, it had over 15k replies. going to the last page on a mobile device would take a little longer to load. we used to "renew" threads just before they hit 10k for performance issue. it was time for new sheets anyway.

Could have really chose a better day to mess with us, we have been buying ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! today, but that seemed to stop with the thread assault.

Fair enough - make that the reason for the new thread then Smilie

no worries.

if it was minor stuff, i'd tell them to get over it. but politics and controversial stuff usually get people riled up more than usual, and it certainly does not belong in hot deals forum.

Agreed, what SD did makes them look bad
what did sd do?

if you get specific, i will respond accordingly. i think if you read all my posts in here, you'll have a better understanding of why we're doing what we are doing.

A little unsettling and strange, the amount of control being exercised by the mods in this thread. Any complaints are deleted or dumped somewhere else? Does the NSA work here? Don't disrupt the sales lowly people, and if you weren't needed to click links, you wouldn't even be let in here, so be grateful and shut up. :-)

this question is actually fine in the original thread Smilie

it's on-topic to amazon deals.

this particular thread is for talking about non-amazon related discussions, altho' if you knew that and still chose this thread to ask in, that's fine too. none of us mods will have a problem with that.
